ROAD WHEEL BALANCING WITH HUNTER ROAD FORCE(R) GSP9700 TIRE BALANCER
This bulletin has been amended in the SERVICE INFORMATION section. Tire warm-up time has been increased. Discard all previous versions of
this bulletin.
APPLIED VEHICLES: All Nissan
SERVICE INFORMATION
The most common cause of vehicle vibration at highway speeds is tire/wheel assembly (or road wheel) non-uniformity. There are three primary
Nissan Armada 2wd v8 5.6L Parts Service 79
contributors that affect tire/wheel assembly vibration:
^ Imbalance
^ Radial run-out
^ Tire Road Force Variation (RFV, or Radial Force Variation)
The Hunter Road Force(R) GSP9700 tire balancer (GSP9700) has the capability to measure tire Road Force Variation (RFV).
When measuring RFV, it is important to look at both the RH1 and RH2 values.
This bulletin will instruct you how to:
^ Prepare the tire/wheel assemblies for balancing on your GSP9700
^ Measure and display RH1 and RH2
^ Determine if the tire/wheel assemblies are within specified limits
Road Force Variation
Radial Force Variation (RFV) is a measurement term. Tire RFV is a measure of the variation (up and down) of the load action on the spindle, the
force applied to the suspension as the tire turns. This measures the tires uniformity under load.
The primary measures for RFV are 1st harmonic, once per revolution, or RH1, and 2nd harmonic, twice per revolution, or RH2.
Tire/wheel assembly uniformity can only be measured under load.
The GSP9700 measures uniformity by using a load roller. The load roller simulates a load on a tire similar to when it is mounted on a vehicle and
driven on the road.
Most road wheel vibration issues are due to road force variation of RH1 or RH2. Of the two, RH1 is more common.
RH1 vibration causes the road wheel to hop/bump once per revolution. This creates a vibration similar to an imbalance condition.
RH1 can cause steering wheel shimmy or shake, and/or body vibration.
RH1 may be caused by:
^ Imbalance
^ Radial run-out
^ Tire uniformity, or RFV
RH2 can be the primary cause of vibration, although it is not as common as RH1.
RH2 vibration occurs twice per revolution and may be caused by:
^ Radial run-out of tire and/or wheel (i.e., oval or egg shaped)
^ Tire uniformity
Preparing Tire/Wheel Assemblies before Measuring Uniformity (RFV)
1. Check (and adjust as necessary) all tire pressures.
2. Warm up the tires by driving the vehicle a minimum of 15 minutes at highway speeds.
^ This will remove any temporary flat spots prior to testing (refer to NTB11-027).
3. Verify the incident after performing the 15 minute warm-up.
4. If the incident is verified, check uniformity of all tire/wheel assemblies.
Mounting a Tire/Wheel Assembly to a GSP9700
Follow all applicable instructions in the manufacturers operators manual.
Nissan Armada 2wd v8 5.6L Parts Service 80
Make sure to:
^ Use the correct collet and flange plate (refer to NTB11-044)
^ Check for and remove debris on all road wheels
^ Perform a centering check (to make sure the road wheel is mounted properly on the balancer)
Measuring Tire/Wheel Assembly Uniformity (RFV)
NOTE:
For details regarding measurement of RFV, refer to the manufacturers operators manual.
1. Once properly mounted, spin the tire/wheel assembly.
2. Without measuring Rim Run-out:
a. Using the menu shift key, navigate to and select "Show Runout & ForceMatching" (see Figure 1).
b. From the "Current Runout & Road Force" screen above, select "Show Details" (see Figure 2).
Nissan Armada 2wd v8 5.6L Parts Service 81
c. "Assembly Road Force" will display (see Figure 3).
^ See value for "R2H" (RH2).
RH1 Above Limit
If RH1 is above the applied limit shown in the table below, perform the following.
1. Mark the tire at the high spot of RFV, and then at the same location on the wheel (see Figure 4).
^ This will be the reference point to the original indexed location.
2. Deflate the tire, and then break down both beads from the wheel.
3. Rotate the tire 180 degrees on the rim.
4. Seat both beads (refer to NTB11-029), and then inflate the tire to its specified pressure.
5. Measure RFV again.
6. Mark the second high spot of RFV.
a. If the second tire mark is within 4 inches of the first of RFV tire mark and RFV is still over the guidelines listed below, the root cause is
most likely the tire.
Nissan Armada 2wd v8 5.6L Parts Service 82
b. If the second tire mark is within 4 inches of the mark on the wheel and RFV is still over the guidelines, the root cause is most likely the
wheel.
c. If the second tire mark is still over the guidelines and did not locate where stated in 6a or 6b:
> Runout can likely be improved by rotating the tire and its second mark another 90 degrees in the direction of the first mark.
RH2 Above Limit
If RH2 is above the applied limit shown in the table below, replace the tire.
Example of typical RH value settings (Some Vehicles May Require Lower Settings)
Refer to NTB11-054 for further details.

Emissions - System Readiness Test (SRT) Drive Patterns
Classification: EC98-001F
Reference: NTB98-018F
Date: November 7, 2012
SYSTEM READINESS TEST (SRT) DRIVE PATTERNS
This bulletin has been amended. Several Changes were made at "Step 7: Confirm All SRTs "COMPLETE"". Please discard all previous versions of
this bulletin.
APPLIED VEHICLES: 1996 and newer Model Years as required by State Emissions Inspections Regulations.
SERVICE INFORMATION
As part of an enhanced emissions test for Inspection & Maintenance (I/M), some States may require the System Readiness Test (SRT) status be
checked.
^ The SRT is used to indicate whether the engine control module (ECM) has completed self diagnosis of major emissions systems and components.
^ In these instances the State may require completion of the SRT before permitting the emissions inspection to proceed.
The State Emissions Inspection Station may advise a Nissan customer to return to the dealership for service due to one or more SRT items coming
up "INCOMPLETE." Use the information in this Bulletin to help you "COMPLETE" the SRT.
^ In most cases the ECM will automatically complete its self diagnosis cycle during normal vehicle usage, and the SRT status will indicate
"COMPLETE" for each applicable system.
^ Once indicating "COMPLETE", the SRT status remains "COMPLETE" until the Self Diagnosis memory is erased.
^ Occasionally, certain portions of the self diagnostic test may not be completed as a result of the customer's normal driving pattern. In these cases
the SRT will indicate "INCOMPLETE" for these items.
NOTE: The SRT will also indicate "INCOMPLETE" if:
^ The self diagnosis memory is erased for any reason, or The ECM memory power supply is interrupted for several hours.
This bulletin contains information to help you perform a comprehensive road test (Drive Pattern) that enables the ECM to complete the SRT.
^ A separate Drive Pattern sheet for each 1996 and 1997 vehicle variation is included with this Bulletin.
^ For 1998 and newer vehicles, refer to the EC section of the appropriate Service Manual for the required Drive Pattern. They are listed under On
Board Diagnostic> System Readiness Test.
NOTE:
You must select the Drive Pattern that correctly corresponds with all variables for the vehicle being serviced (i.e. model, model year, engine,
emissions certification, transmission, powertrain, and for 1996/1997 models, ECM part number.
NOTE:
To ensure all ECM Self Test requirements are met, it is important to drive the entire Drive Pattern even if only one SRT item indicates
"INCOMPLETE."
CLAIMS INFORMATION:
Refer to the current Warranty Flat Rate Manual for claims information.
Service Procedure
Nissan Armada 2wd v8 5.6L Parts Service 2
SRT WORKFLOW
Step 1: Check for DTC
1. Use a CONSULT tool to check for any stored DTCs.
^ If any DTCs are stored they must be repaired at this time.
^ Refer to ASIST for diagnostic and repair information.
NOTE:
Normal warranty coverage will apply for DTC repairs.
2. If no DTCs are stored, go to the next step.
NOTE:
DO NOT touch "Erase" or you will lose previously completed SRTs.
Step 2: Check SRT Status
Nissan Armada 2wd v8 5.6L Parts Service 3
Check the SRT Status (Complete or Incomplete).
^ Use the appropriate CONSULT tool.
^ For older vehicles, a Generic Scan Tool may be needed to check SRT status.
NOTE:
In some cases, the normal driving that occurs between the time the vehicle was referred by the State Emissions Inspection Station and it is
brought into the dealership for SRT evaluation may allow the ECM to complete the SRTs. If this occurs, no further action is necessary.
Always check SRT status before performing the SRT Drive Pattern.
Step 3: Identify the Vehicle
You must select the Drive Pattern that correctly corresponds with all variables for the vehicle being serviced refer to the information below in
the image:
Step 4: Obtain ECM Part Number (1996 and 1997 models only)
1. Use a CONSULT tool to obtain the ECM part number.
2. Write the ECM part number in the space provided above.
Nissan Armada 2wd v8 5.6L Parts Service 4
Nissan Armada 2wd v8 5.6L Parts Service 5
3. Compare the vehicles ECM part number with the list of ECM part numbers provided in the Nissan SRT System Chart above to determine the
Drive Pattern for the vehicle being inspected.
NOTE:
For 1996 and 1997 models; if the vehicles ECM part number does not match a part number listed on the SRT System Chart for that
vehicle, either 1) the vehicle was identified incorrectly or 2) the vehicle has the wrong ECM installed. The SRT cannot be completed with
the incorrect ECM.
Step 5: SRT Road Test (perform Drive Pattern)
To properly obtain SRT readings of "COMPLETE" it is necessary to drive the vehicle under the exact conditions required by the vehicle's
ECM.
Be sure to select the correct Drive Pattern. The SRTs will not complete if the wrong drive pattern for that vehicle is used.
1. Select the Drive Pattern based on the Vehicle Identification (see Step 3).
^ For 1996 and 1997 vehicles:
> This bulletin contains a specific Driving Pattern for every 1996 and 1997 Nissan vehicle.
> Use the "Bookmark" on the left side of the ASIST screen to choose the correct model and year.
> Verify that the vehicle ECM P/N matches EXACTLY an ECM P/N listed on the Drive Pattern sheet you chose.
> Print the Drive Pattern to take with you.
^ For 1998 and newer vehicles, refer to the EC section in the appropriate Service Manual for the required Drive Pattern. It is listed under
On-Board Diagnostics> System Readiness Test.
Nissan Armada 2wd v8 5.6L Parts Service 6
> Print the Drive Pattern to take with you.
2. Prior to driving the vehicle, review the Drive Pattern and prepare to complete it from start to finish:
^ Review the Pre-Check items listed on the drive pattern and ensure all conditions are met.
^ Determine the vehicle speeds required by the drive pattern.
^ Plan your route to minimize traffic and traffic signals that might interrupt the Drive Pattern tasks.
^ Review the Drive Pattern section(s) that must be restarted if you are interrupted.
^ Do not use the ASCD (cruise control) during any section of the Drive Pattern that contains the "No ASCD" symbol.
^ Some EVAP-equipped vehicles will require that fuel be added to the tank between the first and second trip. Be prepared to purchase fuel
or plan your route to accommodate this step.
^ For these EVAP-equipped vehicles, begin the road test with less than 1/2 tank of fuel. If the fuel level is greater than 1/2, more time may
be required to complete the EVAP sections of the Drive Pattern and you may not be able to add fuel as required.
3. Review the Drive Pattern for any input signals that need to be monitored during the drive.
If needed, Connect a CONSULT tool to the vehicle to monitor required signals.
NOTE:
^ Monitor the Fuel Temperature if the EVAP SRT is "INCOMPLETE". One part of the EVAP SRT diagnostic logic requires a 3°C
increase in fuel temperature from the time the ignition key is turned to "ON" as part of the test criteria. Fluctuations in the fuel
temperature reading can extend the time required for the EVAP SRT to indicate "COMPLETE". If the fuel temperature change is not
sufficient after completing the SRT Drive pattern, idle the vehicle until a fuel temperature increase of at least 3°C is noted or until the
EVAP SRT indicates "COMPLETE".
^ If the fuel temperature increases 3°C or more but the SRT still indicates "INCOMPLETE", the SRT Drive Pattern may need to be
repeated.
4. Note the following items before starting the Drive Pattern:
^ IMPORTANT:
Nissan requires using a driver and an assistant to conduct SRT driving patterns. The assistant should read the Drive Pattern, CONSULT
data, and drive time and convey driving instruction to the driver. It is the driver's responsibility to observe and react to traffic conditions.
Always drive the vehicle in a safe manner and obey all traffic laws.
^ To ensure all ECM Self Test requirements are met, drive the ENTIRE pattern whenever any SRT items indicate "INCOMPLETE".
^ Some vehicles require that sections of the Drive Pattern be driven two times to satisfy the "self diagnosis two trip logic". For vehicles
that require two trips, the pre-check engine coolant temperature must be met before beginning Section 1 of the second trip.
5. Perform the Drive Pattern:
a. Make sure all Pre-Check conditions are met.
b. Drive the vehicle and carefully follow the specific instructions and time requirements listed in each section of the Drive Pattern.
NOTE: If you monitor the (B/FUEL SCHDL):
^ The Base Fuel Schedule (B/FUEL SCHDL) is an indication of engine load.
^ It will be easier to match high B/FUEL SCHDL values when driving up slight hills in the recommended gear range.
^ It will be easier to match low B/FUEL SCHDL values when driving down slight hills in the recommended gear range.
^ Turning the A/C compressor ON will increase the B/FUEL SCHDL value, while turning it OFF will decrease the B/FUEL SCHDL
value.
Step 6: Recheck for DTC
Upon completion of the Drive Pattern, determine if any DTCs have been stored. Only in rare cases will this occur.
^ If a DTC has been stored after completing the Drive Pattern, it must be repaired. Refer to ASIST for diagnostic and repair information.
Nissan Armada 2wd v8 5.6L Parts Service 7
NOTE:
Normal warranty coverage will apply for DTC repairs.
^ Once the DTC is repaired, erase the stored DTC. Turn the ignition OFF for 10 seconds, and then repeat the entire Drive Pattern (Step
5) to "COMPLETE" the SRTs.
^ If no DTCs have been stored, DO NOT touch "Erase" or all SRT items will reset to "INCOMPLETE".
Step 7: Confirm All SRTs "COMPLETE"
If all SRT items indicate "COMPLETE", the inspection is complete.
^ If Catalyst and/or 02 Sensor Monitors show "INCOMPLETE" perform step A or B below.
A. Check Self Learning Value and A/F ALPHA. If either value is +10% or more above target of 100%, clear Self Learning Value.
^ Perform DTC diagnosis for P0171 or P0174 and check for the following possible causes:
> Intake air leaks
> Front heated oxygen sensors
> Injectors
> Exhaust gas leaks
> Incorrect fuel pressure
> Lack of fuel
> Mass air flow sensor
A. Check Self Learning Value and A/F ALPHA. If either value is -10% or more below target of 100%, clear Self Learning Value.
^ Perform DTC diagnosis for P0172 or P0175 and check for the following possible causes:
> Intake air leaks
> Front heated oxygen sensors
> Injectors
> Exhaust gas leaks
> Incorrect fuel pressure
> Lack of fuel
> Mass air flow sensor
^ After repairs have been made, run the prescribed drive pattern and check that A/F ALPHA is within +/- 10% of the target of 100%
during the steady state portions of the drive cycle. If it is not, then continue repairs. If it is, return to STEP 5.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) WARNING LIGHT DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE
This bulletin has been amended. Changes were made. Please discard previous versions.
APPLIED VEHICLES: All Nissan vehicles with Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
IF YOU CONFIRM
The TPMS warning light is illuminated (continuously or flashing),
ACTIONS
STEP 1: Turn ignition to "OFF" and then "ON" position (engine not required to be running).
^ If the TPMS warning light is continuously illuminated (not flashing), the TPMS is operating normally and has detected low tire pressure in one of
the tires. Go to STEP 2.
NOTE:
> Normal tire pressure maintenance is not covered under warranty.
> Some 2011 and newer models will display an alert in the Vehicle information display near the speedometer. The alert will read "Check Tire
Pressure", or similar, and will accompany the illuminated TPMS light.
> If the TPMS warning light is flashing for approximately one minute, there is a TPMS system malfunction. Do not go to Step 2. Instead, check
the DTC and refer to the Service Manual for repair instructions.
STEP 2: Leave the ignition in the "ON" position* (engine is not required to be running) and set the tire pressure to the recommended pressure.
^ Refer below for Important Tire Pressure Information.
* Leaving the ignition in the ON position may allow the TPMS to detect the corrected tire pressure more quickly on 2009 and newer models
(WITHOUT having to drive the vehicle).
Important Tire Pressure Information:
Each vehicle is equipped with a "Tire and Loading Information" placard (see example in Figure 1).
For factory equipped tires, follow the recommended cold pressure on the placard to set the tire pressure on the vehicle.
Tire pressure can be affected by factors such as tire temperature, outside temperature, time, and altitude.
^ Refer to NTB08-033 for additional information about these factors that affect tire pressure, including seasonal temperature changes.
Nissan Armada 2wd v8 5.6L Parts Service 151
When tire pressure is low, make sure it is not caused by a leak. If needed, repair as necessary.
After tires are inflated to the recommended pressure, the vehicle may need to be driven at speeds above 16 mph for the TPMS to turn off the low tire
pressure warning light. DO NOT USE CONSULT TO RESET THE TPMS.
For additional Tire Pressure Information, refer to NTB08-033 (Tire Pressure Information).

ROAD WHEEL BALANCING WITH HUNTER ROAD FORCE(R) GSP9700 TIRE BALANCER
This bulletin has been amended in the SERVICE INFORMATION section. Tire warm-up time has been increased. Discard all previous versions of
this bulletin.
APPLIED VEHICLES: All Nissan
SERVICE INFORMATION
The most common cause of vehicle vibration at highway speeds is tire/wheel assembly (or road wheel) non-uniformity. There are three primary
Nissan Armada 2wd v8 5.6L Parts Service 79
contributors that affect tire/wheel assembly vibration:
^ Imbalance
^ Radial run-out
^ Tire Road Force Variation (RFV, or Radial Force Variation)
The Hunter Road Force(R) GSP9700 tire balancer (GSP9700) has the capability to measure tire Road Force Variation (RFV).
When measuring RFV, it is important to look at both the RH1 and RH2 values.
This bulletin will instruct you how to:
^ Prepare the tire/wheel assemblies for balancing on your GSP9700
^ Measure and display RH1 and RH2
^ Determine if the tire/wheel assemblies are within specified limits
Road Force Variation
Radial Force Variation (RFV) is a measurement term. Tire RFV is a measure of the variation (up and down) of the load action on the spindle, the
force applied to the suspension as the tire turns. This measures the tires uniformity under load.
The primary measures for RFV are 1st harmonic, once per revolution, or RH1, and 2nd harmonic, twice per revolution, or RH2.
Tire/wheel assembly uniformity can only be measured under load.
The GSP9700 measures uniformity by using a load roller. The load roller simulates a load on a tire similar to when it is mounted on a vehicle and
driven on the road.
Most road wheel vibration issues are due to road force variation of RH1 or RH2. Of the two, RH1 is more common.
RH1 vibration causes the road wheel to hop/bump once per revolution. This creates a vibration similar to an imbalance condition.
RH1 can cause steering wheel shimmy or shake, and/or body vibration.
RH1 may be caused by:
^ Imbalance
^ Radial run-out
^ Tire uniformity, or RFV
RH2 can be the primary cause of vibration, although it is not as common as RH1.
RH2 vibration occurs twice per revolution and may be caused by:
^ Radial run-out of tire and/or wheel (i.e., oval or egg shaped)
^ Tire uniformity
Preparing Tire/Wheel Assemblies before Measuring Uniformity (RFV)
1. Check (and adjust as necessary) all tire pressures.
2. Warm up the tires by driving the vehicle a minimum of 15 minutes at highway speeds.
^ This will remove any temporary flat spots prior to testing (refer to NTB11-027).
3. Verify the incident after performing the 15 minute warm-up.
4. If the incident is verified, check uniformity of all tire/wheel assemblies.
Mounting a Tire/Wheel Assembly to a GSP9700
Follow all applicable instructions in the manufacturers operators manual.
Nissan Armada 2wd v8 5.6L Parts Service 80
Make sure to:
^ Use the correct collet and flange plate (refer to NTB11-044)
^ Check for and remove debris on all road wheels
^ Perform a centering check (to make sure the road wheel is mounted properly on the balancer)
Measuring Tire/Wheel Assembly Uniformity (RFV)
NOTE:
For details regarding measurement of RFV, refer to the manufacturers operators manual.
1. Once properly mounted, spin the tire/wheel assembly.
2. Without measuring Rim Run-out:
a. Using the menu shift key, navigate to and select "Show Runout & ForceMatching" (see Figure 1).
b. From the "Current Runout & Road Force" screen above, select "Show Details" (see Figure 2).
Nissan Armada 2wd v8 5.6L Parts Service 81
c. "Assembly Road Force" will display (see Figure 3).
^ See value for "R2H" (RH2).
RH1 Above Limit
If RH1 is above the applied limit shown in the table below, perform the following.
1. Mark the tire at the high spot of RFV, and then at the same location on the wheel (see Figure 4).
^ This will be the reference point to the original indexed location.
2. Deflate the tire, and then break down both beads from the wheel.
3. Rotate the tire 180 degrees on the rim.
4. Seat both beads (refer to NTB11-029), and then inflate the tire to its specified pressure.
5. Measure RFV again.
6. Mark the second high spot of RFV.
a. If the second tire mark is within 4 inches of the first of RFV tire mark and RFV is still over the guidelines listed below, the root cause is
most likely the tire.
Nissan Armada 2wd v8 5.6L Parts Service 82
b. If the second tire mark is within 4 inches of the mark on the wheel and RFV is still over the guidelines, the root cause is most likely the
wheel.
c. If the second tire mark is still over the guidelines and did not locate where stated in 6a or 6b:
> Runout can likely be improved by rotating the tire and its second mark another 90 degrees in the direction of the first mark.
RH2 Above Limit
If RH2 is above the applied limit shown in the table below, replace the tire.
Example of typical RH value settings (Some Vehicles May Require Lower Settings)
Refer to NTB11-054 for further details.
